Qin Zhiyou frowned slightly, just seeing the pile of relevant materials showed how much Xixi must’ve wanted that order.

Waiting for Lu Weixi to finish, Qin Zhiyou didn’t say anything. Back at the Qin Family mansion, he first instructed the servant to decoct the herbal medicine for both of them. After climbing upstairs and returning to his room, Qin Zhiyou asked, “Did you really want to participate in that call for submissions from Siyi Company before?”

Lu Weixi was initially surprised, but then she remembered the pile of materials she had thrown away when Qin Zhiyou came to pick her up in the afternoon and nodded, “I did, but I don’t want to anymore.”

The fact that she wanted to participate before but doesn’t want to anymore, without asking, you can easily infer the primary reason why she didn’t participate is Qin Zhigu and Cai Yiren.

Qin Zhiyou felt a bit foolish and quickly added, “Actually, you don’t have to give up your desires for some unimportant people.”

Lu Weixi looked calm and lightly shook her head, “No, it’s best not to.”

Truthfully, if Lu Weixi had expressed regret just now, he might not have said these words. But precisely because she so firmly refused, Qin Zhiyou ended up offering her a word or two of comfort. But even so, his tone was casual and light, “I overheard Secretary Wang complaining this afternoon.”

Lu Weixi looked up at him.

Qin Zhiyou continued, “He was helping your assistant dispose of garbage, a large pile. Your assistant told him that it was all material you had previously collected. So much wasted effort, even your assistant was complaining.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Weixi smiled slightly, “It’s okay. I’ve encountered many similar cases where a thorough preparation is scrapped. I’m used to it.”

Qin Zhiyou couldn’t help but frown deeply.

Ever since Lu Weixi married him, she has been studying and working. She never lets him interfere in her work, and she won’t disclose her identity. She started from the very bottom as an assistant, and by the time she finished her master’s degree, she had also achieved an intermediate professional title.

For an ordinary postgraduate, it’s self-evident how much disdain would be met in the workplace. Not to mention she is a woman, and a beautiful one at that. Many people didn’t trust her abilities because she was young and fresh-faced, which is one thing. But how annoying it is to have people like Director Liu from Yan Chang Company trying to take advantage of her under the pretext of work.

Even though she’s talented, no one would be at ease when she first entered the field. She suffered numerous discriminations and had to start from scratch. It took several years to establish her reputation. Even Qin Zhigu, despite his talent, would not necessarily have had his meteoric rise if the head of the European division of Hanhai hadn’t handed him that design drawing.

She had already passed the hard early stage of her career; what was this small setback to her?

“Although I’m a bit disappointed I can’t participate in this, it doesn’t matter. I’m only an intermediate title holder right now. Wait a few years, get my PhD, earn a higher professional title, it will be more appropriate and I will have more confidence to compete then.”

Qin Zhiyou looked at her, and while her expression remained calm when she was speaking about her career plan of getting a PhD and promotion, it was as if her entire person was glowing.

From the beginning when he first met her, Lu Weixi was a positive and cheerful person. Although the change in her family circumstances hit her hard, she never lost hope in life.

This positivity and unwavering spirit deeply affected him.

Our Xixi is truly amazing..
